"Oh?"
The smile on Ren Tianye's lips did not fade. "You want these soldiers?"
"Of course!" Ren Tianchao said. "Everyone knows that the world is in chaos right now. Nothing is better than having soldiers in your hands."
"Big brother, you relied on the name of Duke Ren's Mansion to recruit so many soldiers. It is only right that you share half of them with me."
"What do you think, big brother?"
Ren Tianye laughed even more cheerfully. "I think this request of yours..."
"...is quite good!"
Ren Tianchao's eyes lit up. "Does that mean you agree, big brother?"
"Of course I agree."
"Hahaha, big brother, I knew it! You will always have a place in your heart for your younger brother!" Ren Tianchao said happily, feeling incredibly exhilarated.
He had originally thought that Ren Tianye would disagree, requiring him to go to their father and act pitiful so that Ren Tianye would be forced to split the troops with him.
He never expected...
Ren Tianye actually agreed.
It was simply too smooth.
Taking the initiative, he grabbed Ren Tianye's hand and pulled him toward Yunji City.
When he finally saw Yunji City, Ren Tianchao's eyes lit up once again.
"Is this Yunji City?"
"I only heard that Her Majesty previously sent Zhan Shubai to garrison this place, and that Zhan Shubai spent a lot of effort on Yunji City. Seeing it today, I finally realize how extraordinarily majestic this Yunji City actually is!"
Pausing for a moment, he asked Ren Tianye, "Big brother, when I came here, I asked around and heard that you have already swept across the entire Northern Frontier. Now, the Northern Frontier has basically fallen into the hands of our Duke Ren's Mansion."
"Then is this Yunji City also the property of our Duke Ren's Mansion?"
Ren Tianye still had a smile on his face. He deliberately glanced at the road ahead; they had not yet entered Yunji City, and the prominent noble families were still following them, as if joining in the fun. Their faces were filled with admiration for this display of brotherly love.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "Of course, Yunji City is also ours."
"That's wonderful!" Ren Tianchao said. "Big brother, you should leave this Yunji City for our father to retire in. His health is not good. As sons, we should fulfill our filial piety."
"Don't worry, I know father doesn't like you. I will personally go and tell father about this matter. He will definitely be moved by my filial piety and comfortably accept Yunji City."
Before Ren Tianye could speak, the deputy general standing to the side, Wang Ming, could no longer hold back. He thought to himself, no wonder the Great General wanted to cut ties with Duke Ren's Mansion before. What kind of ridiculous people are these?
He said coldly, "Young Master Ren, this Yunji City was conquered by our Great General. It has weathered snow, rain, wind, and frost, and was forged by the blood of countless soldiers of Yunji City. It has absolutely nothing to do with you!"
However, Ren Tianchao completely ignored Wang Ming's warning and instead said angrily, "What kind of thing are you?"
"How dare you interrupt the conversation between me and my big brother?"
"Hmph, you don't know anything. Big brother was stranded outside since childhood and was only found by our Duke Ren's Mansion later on. This caused big brother to be ignorant of the etiquette of Duke Ren's Mansion and tainted him with the aura of the martial world!"
"But under my persuasion, Duke Ren's Mansion has already acknowledged big brother. Thus, big brother is a member of Duke Ren's Mansion and must learn the etiquette and rules of Duke Ren's Mansion."
"In our Duke Ren's Mansion, brothers must be friendly and respectful to one another, one must yield to others like Kong Rong yielding pears, and one must honor their father!"
He looked at Ren Tianye and said, "Big brother, don't you agree?"
Ren Tianye smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Nodding, he said, "Yes, indeed!"
"In Duke Ren's Mansion, everyone must listen to father's words, and brothers must be friendly and respectful."
"Big brother, you have finally reached enlightenment. No wonder father entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility!" Ren Tianchao gave him an approving look. "However, your heavy responsibility is almost complete now."
"In the future, it is time for me to take on the great responsibility."
"On my way here, I have thought about it carefully."
"In the future, father will be the Lord of the Northern Frontier, you will be the Great General, and I will be the Deputy General. With our Duke Ren's Mansion working together, we absolutely have the chance to take over the entire Northern Frontier!"
"That is a good idea!"
Ren Tianye nodded. By this time, he had already led Ren Tianchao to the outside of the General's Manor. He then turned to the prominent noble families who had followed them and said, "Next, this general and my younger brother still have many family matters to discuss."
"Everyone, please take your leave for now!"
The prominent noble families were not tactless people. They had already expressed their loyalty and had also met Ren Tianchao, so they were all very satisfied.
One by one, they left in an orderly manner.
They even discussed among themselves, their faces full of joy.
"The deep brotherly affection within Duke Ren's Mansion is truly a great and joyous matter!"
"As expected of Duke Ren's Mansion. Now that the Great General has Young Master Ren to help him, our hopes will be even greater in the future."
"I am truly looking forward to the time when the Great General marches into the Central Plains under the banner of Duke Ren's Mansion!"
...
The crowd dispersed.
Ren Tianye also turned around and returned to the General's Manor.
However, at this moment, there was no longer any smile on his face.
Ren Tianchao did not notice this. He was still happily planning for the future, thinking about how to have his father seize power from Ren Tianye and then distribute it to him.
Then he would be able to command an army of hundreds of thousands!
When that time came, even the Empress, Xiao Mingzhao, would have to be respectful to him.
Thinking of all this, he felt his body burning with excitement.
Then...
He saw a beautiful silhouette drift past his eyes. His gaze quickly followed it, and he discovered it was a woman dressed in plain clothes, carrying a stack of documents.
The woman had a glamorous and beautiful appearance. The slight curve at the corners of her eyes rippled with endless amorous feelings, making him instantly feel his body go soft.
He immediately said, "Big brother, I have traveled a long way to get here, and I am truly exhausted. Why don't you arrange for this woman to accompany me in bed!"
Ren Tianchao subconsciously assumed that Ren Tianye would be just like before, agreeing to whatever he said.
But after these words were spoken, the General's Manor fell completely silent. In the midst of the silence, only the clerk, Su Jin, spoke coldly, "Young Master Ren, you are unworthy!"
Having followed Ren Tianye for a long time, Su Jin naturally understood Ren Tianye's thoughts and knew exactly what needed to be said right now.
This caused Ren Tianchao's expression to change.
He scolded coldly, "Big brother, the tempers of the people under your command are not very good."
"As the commander of an army, you must discipline them. As the saying goes, a merciful man cannot command an army. You might not understand these things, but don't worry. In the future, I will plead with father and have him teach you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud smack was heard.
Deputy General Wang Ming had swung his arm in a full circle and slapped him hard across the cheek. Instantly, a huge handprint swelled up on Ren Tianchao's face.
"Big brother, you... how could your subordinates have such terrible tempers? You need to make them learn from our Duke Ren's Mansion. You must make them change!"
It was only after Wang Ming delivered another slap that Ren Tianchao finally shut his mouth.
Ren Tianye's voice sounded faintly.
"Their tempers are not good, so I should make them change?"
"Your temper is good, so why can't you endure it?"
"They can't change, and you can't endure it?"
"Since you can't endure it, then don't endure it anymore!"
"Where is Wang Ming?!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Administer punishment. First, give Ren Tianchao one hundred blows of the dread-inspiring cane, so he can experience exactly how bad your temper really is!"
"Yes, sir!"
